The Buddha teaches that the arising, continuation, and manifestation of eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind consciousness is the arising of suffering, the continuation of disease, and the manifestation of old age and death—and that their cessation is the cessation of suffering.
Sāvatthinidānaṁ.
“Yo kho, bhikkhave, cakkhuviññāṇassa uppādo ṭhiti …pe… jarāmaraṇassa pātubhāvo …pe… yo manoviññāṇassa uppādo ṭhiti …pe… jarāmaraṇassa pātubhāvo. Yo ca kho, bhikkhave, cakkhuviññāṇassa nirodho …pe… jarāmaraṇassa atthaṅgamo …pe… yo manoviññāṇassa nirodho …pe… jarāmaraṇassa atthaṅgamo”ti.
Tatiyaṁ.
